Family Planning

Community Health Service

Description

Family Planning provides sexual and reproductive health services from 30 clinics across New Zealand. Anyone can come to a Family Planning Clinic – many have drop in sessions with no need for an appointment.

Our clinical services are free for New Zealand residents under 22 years. For those with a Community Services Card, a visit to one of our clinics is $5 and for all other New Zealand residents a visit costs $32.

We provide contraception, including long acting reversible contraception (IUDs, IUSs – Mirena and contraceptive implants). Our clinic staff can also help with STI testing and treatment, pregnancy testing, advice and referral if required, cervical screening, menopause, pre menstrual syndrome and much more. An early medical abortion service is available at our Tauranga clinic for people living within the Bay of Plenty District Health Board area.

We also offer clinical training for doctors, nurses and midwives. This training includes the Family Planning Certificate in Contraception and Sexual Health.
